This blog is about our adventure to live the most sustainable family life we can. Only the three essentials, a roof over our heads, food, and education. From buying and recycling an old boat, to producing our own energy, these are the things we learn along the way and some simple advice to others with a dream.

Heineken Sailing Regatta

The St. Maarten Regatta starts this week. The whole island is a buzz. People rushing from here to there, Parties, fire works lighting up the night sky, and the waters are jammed pack with sail boats of every kind. With all of the fuss we took a brake from the list to enjoy a day at the races.

The wind was favorable and a perfect blue sky, help to make race day memorable. We went to a small beach in Margot on the French side of the island that is only reachable by boat. What a place to see the race. Blue ocean and round ocean weathered turquoise rocks littered the beach.

Coffee & Ice Cream update

The kids events have been a huge success with visits to local farms which are being revived across the islands. Knot classes, beach hunts and a lot more. The season is winding down so the tourists are thin on the ground , and cruising kids are on the move south for the summer. We'll have more events in different spots on the way to Grenada.
